A man who fired a gun at George Zimmerman's truck during a road rage confrontation last year was sentenced to 20 years in prison Monday.
The Watch Mom's Guide to Sex 12 Onlinelengthy sentence angered social media pundits as many cast the judgment as unfair, comparing it to Zimmerman's own acquittal after he fatally shot unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin in 2012.
In both cases, the shooters claimed self-defense, but for Matthew Apperson, the 38-year-old who shot at Zimmerman, it didn't help.
Apperson told police that Zimmerman had pointed a gun at him first during the road rage incident, and Zimmerman told the court that was a lie. Prosecutors argued Apperson showed no regard for human life by shooting at Zimmerman in May 2015 and a jury found him guilty of second-degree attempted murder, armed aggravated assault and shooting into a vehicle last month. The judge sentenced Apperson Monday to the state-mandated minimum for such a crime, 20 years.

Zimmerman had minor injuries from glass and metal fragments after Apperson's bullet shattered the window of his truck.
Zimmerman told the court that Apperson was dangerous. "The crux here is Mr. Apperson's blatant disregard for my life, any life ... anybody driving up and down Lake Mary Boulevard," he told the judge, according to the OrlandoSentinel.
Zimmerman's acquittal in 2013 sparked protests across the country after he successfully used Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law to defend himself once charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter.
